Hey everyone! This is to let you know about upcoming downtime tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 4 am, Subeta time. We need to take the site down for approximately an hour or less (hopefully less!) while we re-synchronize our 2 database servers (gosh, we do seem to have to do this often, don't we?)

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know what's going on. The downtime window is based on when our graphs tell us that the least users are online. If you do happen to use the site during this particular window, please be patient with us while we continue to improve the site.

Also, you may have noticed Subeta suffered a very unannounced outage this morning. This was due to an issue with a network switch that connects all of our servers. The switch was beaten back into submission, though, and it's once again happily switching away.

The clock keeps switching back and forth by a few minutes and with it the shop times. Was this supposed to be fixed? It's been happening since before you beat up your switch

I like that you guys warn us before hand. :3 Even when the site is down, you guys try to not keep us in the dark. Better to have the site down then to have glitches and errors eat items and sP. I hope it goes well!

Yay syncing! would make an NSYNC joke, but feels that's too much of a stretch, and would accrue too much rotten vegetables* Hope it goes well~!

Also.... switch.... I'm watching you. You can't see me, you can't hear me, you don't even know what state I'm in, but I'm watching you. shifty eyes in the darkness So keep working! Don't make me get a Kinkylove whip!
